On January 21, 2026, the US Supreme Court pondered whether Donald Trump can fire Lisa Cook from the Fed board, a move Brett Kavanaugh ominously warned could 'weaken, if not shatter' the Federal Reserve’s independence—which sounds like a meltdown even worse than House Republicans aiming to slam former president Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton with contempt of Congress charges tied to the endless Jeffrey Epstein investigation. The GOP claims they’ve 'issued subpoenas in good faith' and that 'time’s up,' threatening First Ever Former President Jail Time™, turning Capitol Hill into a high-stakes political thriller that makes sitcoms look low-drama.
